Romans 8

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.	1 Thus, condemnation wil never come to those who are in Christ Jesus,
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.	2 because the law of the Spirit which gives life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin anddeath.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:	3 What the Law could not do because of the weakness of human nature, God did, sending his own Sonin the same human nature as any sinner to be a sacrifice for sin, and condemning sin in that human nature.
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.	4 This was so that the Law's requirements might be fully satisfied in us as we direct our lives not by ournatural inclinations but by the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.	5 Those who are living by their natural inclinations have their minds on the things human nature desires;those who live in the Spirit have their minds on spiritual things.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.	6 And human nature has nothing to look forward to but death, while the Spirit looks forward to life andpeace,
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.	7 because the outlook of disordered human nature is opposed to God, since it does not submit to God'sLaw, and indeed it cannot,
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.	8 and those who live by their natural inclinations can never be pleasing to God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.	9 You, however, live not by your natural inclinations, but by the Spirit, since the Spirit of God has made ahome in you. Indeed, anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.	10 But when Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin but the spirit is alive because you havebeen justified;
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.	11 and if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead has made his home in you, then he whoraised Christ Jesus from the dead wil give life to your own mortal bodies through his Spirit living in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.	12 So then, my brothers, we have no obligation to human nature to be dominated by it.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.	13 If you do live in that way, you are doomed to die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the habitsoriginating in the body, you will have life.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.	14 Al who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God;
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.	15 for what you received was not the spirit of slavery to bring you back into fear; you received the Spiritof adoption, enabling us to cry out, 'Abba, Father!'
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:	16 The Spirit himself joins with our spirit to bear witness that we are children of God.
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.	17 And if we are children, then we are heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, provided that weshare his suffering, so as to share his glory.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.	18 In my estimation, al that we suffer in the present time is nothing in comparison with the glory which isdestined to be disclosed for us,
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.	19 for the whole creation is waiting with eagerness for the children of God to be revealed.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,	20 It was not for its own purposes that creation had frustration imposed on it, but for the purposes of himwho imposed it-
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.	21 with the intention that the whole creation itself might be freed from its slavery to corruption andbrought into the same glorious freedom as the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.	22 We are wel aware that the whole creation, until this time, has been groaning in labour pains.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.	23 And not only that: we too, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we are groaning insideourselves, waiting with eagerness for our bodies to be set free.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?	24 In hope, we already have salvation; in hope, not visibly present, or we should not be hoping -- nobodygoes on hoping for something which is already visible.
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.	25 But having this hope for what we cannot yet see, we are able to wait for it with perseveringconfidence.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.	26 And as wel as this, the Spirit too comes to help us in our weakness, for, when we do not know how topray properly, then the Spirit personal y makes our petitions for us in groans that cannot be put into words;
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.	27 and he who can see into al hearts knows what the Spirit means because the prayers that the Spiritmakes for God's holy people are always in accordance with the mind of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.	28 We are wel aware that God works with those who love him, those who have been cal ed inaccordance with his purpose, and turns everything to their good.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.	29 He decided beforehand who were the ones destined to be moulded to the pattern of his Son, so thathe should be the eldest of many brothers;
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.	30 it was those so destined that he cal ed; those that he cal ed, he justified, and those that he hasjustified he has brought into glory.
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?	31 After saying this, what can we add? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?	32 Since he did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for the sake of all of us, then can we not expectthat with him he wil freely give us al his gifts?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.	33 Who can bring any accusation against those that God has chosen? When God grants saving justice
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.	34 who can condemn? Are we not sure that it is Christ Jesus, who died -- yes and more, who was raised from the dead and is at God's right hand -- and who is adding his plea for us?
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?	35 Can anything cut us off from the love of Christ -- can hardships or distress, or persecution, or lack offood and clothing, or threats or violence;
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.	36 as scripture says: For your sake we are being massacred al day long, treated as sheep to beslaughtered?
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.	37 No; we come through al these things triumphantly victorious, by the power of him who loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,	38 For I am certain of this: neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nothing already inexistence and nothing stil to come, nor any power,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.	39 nor the heights nor the depths, nor any created thing whatever, wil be able to come between us andthe love of God, known to us in Christ Jesus our Lord.
